Sterling Guarantee,Captain Cloudy and Red Nose Lady are three against the field in this competitive seller and the tentative vote is given to Captain Cloudy. The selection is one of the least exposed in the field and showed improved form to be second behind Burning Truth last time out. He remains on a fair mark and with improvement likely he is taken to score. Sterling Guarantee rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Red Chief as he is dropping in grade. However he has had plenty of chances without taking one and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Red Nose Lady was behind the selection last time and even on these revised terms their is no reason whey she should gain her revenge. Rumbling Bridge and Gabor are others with place claims on their latest efforts but in a race that throws up more questions than answers and where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Captain Cloudy.
